How to Create Automatic Backups


This guide will show you how to properly set up automatic backups in your server.

||| Note that we also have a guide [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-set-up-and-use-scheduled-tasks-npe14v/) explaining scheduled tasks.

|| Also, please note that the server will keep just the latest three backups. After that, the backups will start getting overwritten so just the latest three are kept.

# Setting Up Automatic Backups

To set up automatic backups you need to:

1. Log in to your Multicraft [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/site/login) and stop your server.

—

2. Click on `Advanced`, then `Scheduled Tasks`.


—

3. Click on `New Task`.


—

4. Set up the scheduled task like this and click on `Create`.


###### Name

* It will be set to `Backup` as we can set it to whatever we want.

—

###### Status

* It will be set to `Scheduled` since we want the task to keep happening.

—

###### Scheduled Time

* We will open the `Scheduled Time` section and we will move just the minute’s bar to be 5 minutes later, so our task will start in 5 minutes from the actual moment.


—

###### Interval

* We will set it to 1 day, so the task is repeating each day at the same hour.

—

###### Command

* The command is set to `Create Backup` so it will send the message to any player.

—

###### Arguments

* The argument will be blank, no need to fill this one.

—

###### Run For

* We want the command to be run for the entire server, so we will set the `Server` option in this section.
